              TimeSys Introduces LinuxLink Subscriptions
                for Intel Pentium Family of Processors

   Continuously Updated Embedded Linux Resource Accelerates Embedded
                              Development

    PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 7, 2007--TimeSys Corporation,
the leading service provider to developers in the embedded Linux
market, today announced the availability of LinuxLink subscriptions
for the Intel Pentium family of processors, sometimes also referred to
as the i586 family. This LinuxLink complements the already popular
LinuxLink for the Intel Pentium III (i686) family of processors.
LinuxLink by TimeSys is the first commercial offering to support the
majority of embedded developers who build and assemble their own
commercial-grade custom Linux platforms. By delivering on-demand
access to continuously updated processor-optimized Linux packages,
components and tools, engineers benefit from a rich development
environment and community support.

    In response to customer demand, the introduction of LinuxLink
subscriptions for Pentium- processors and clones now provides a
solution for customers creating embedded Linux devices with
Pentium-equivalent processors from vendors such as Via and Geode.

    TimeSys continues to offer the popular Pentium III (i686-based)
LinuxLink that is designed for development using Pentium III
generation or newer processors. Desktop Linux distributions have long
offered binaries for both i586 and i686 architectures. Now LinuxLink
repositories are available for each as well.

    The combination of features available exclusively through
LinuxLink provides subscribers with ongoing access to the most
up-to-date embedded Linux resource throughout every stage of
development. Subscribers can choose among multiple LinuxLink
subscription options for the level of functionality that matches their
needs. Features of the Intel i586 LinuxLink include:

    --  A special reference distribution that enhances performance and
        provides an excellent starting point for building a customized
        distribution

    --  Access to several different kernel versions, including 2.6.19,
        which allows developers to take advantage of the latest
        advances in the Linux community

    --  Access to a repository of hundreds of source and binary
        cross-compiled packages

    --  An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed to make
        embedded Linux development easier

    --  Testing and profiling tools to streamline development
        processes

    --  An online environment that allows development teams to
        collaboratively design and build their distribution with
        weekly alerts to notify customers of new content and
        resources.

    --  Access through the LinuxLink Developer Network to extensive
        resources and interactive support from TimeSys and the
        embedded Linux community

    "The availability of a LinuxLink for Pentium I-class processors
allows developers to build a custom Linux platform that is tuned to
provide the maximum level of performance for this type of processor,"
said Joseph Raffa, CEO of TimeSys. "Many embedded developers are
finding that processors based on the original Pentium architecture
make excellent embedded target platforms from both a price and
performance standpoint."
